Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher is out for season
<snip>

"Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a dislocated right wrist — a major blow for a team with high expectations.

Team spokesman Jim Christman confirmed a Chicago Tribune report, saying "Brian did have surgery this morning and he is out for the remainder of the season." Urlacher had said in a text message to the newspaper that his "season is over."

Urlacher apparently was injured in the first quarter of Sunday night's 21-15 loss at Green Bay making a tackle on Packers running back Ryan Grant. He left on the Packers' first drive of the second half."

3. I never noticed he was hurt....don't remember the announcers saying anything
Of course, the announcers are Cris Collingsworthless and Al Dumbshit, so that's not saying much.

4. They did
They kept saying saying the Bears where venerable in the middle because Urlacher was out the second half.

Edit/ He could have texted one handed with his injury free hand.

11. Hint: His press agent did it for him. Or he hired someone else.

13. I Was There. A Packer Fan Here Who Thinks It Sucks About Urlacher
I had Bear fans sitting all around me, and they were cool. Actually, I have never run into a shitty Bears fan. Viking fans, well, that's another story. Hopefully Urlacher comes back 100%.
